Recently my mom turned 57 years young! I wasn’t able to celebrate with her on the day of her actual birthday, but we got to celebrate earlier this week when I went to visit. We got to catch up on everything going on her life and in mine. Then I made everyone her favourite meal that I make, Chicken Parmesan, which she swears is better than hers. (I don’t think that’s true, but I like that I’m able to make something she enjoys!)
I served the Chicken Parm alongside her favourite pasta: spaghetti, which is a must have side for chicken parm according to mom, as well as garlic bread and some steamed carrots as a veggie. Had a little cake, and then gave her her birthday present. Some lemon-themed items to go with her lemon kitchen and a Christmas ornament she’d been wanting for a while. All in all, a good trip and a good meal that gave my mom some leftovers for the next day too.
I’ve shared the recipe here on the blog before, but it truly continues to be a favourite!
